SAN BERNARDINO >> A 14-year-old San Bernardino boy was killed when the SUV he was a passenger in went out of control and crashed into a tree in the 2700 block of Sierra Way on Saturday has been identified, authorities said Sunday.

Richard Martinez Jr. died following the crash, according to San Bernardino coroner’s officials.

Officers arrived on scene soon after being notified of the crash around 5 p.m., police said.

“A red Ford Explorer SUV lost control and impacted against a tree,” police Lt. Travis Walker said. “The teenage victim was in critical condition and transported to the hospital.”

Martinez was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, Walker said.

The driver, a 27-year-old man, and a woman who was a passenger in the SUV, were also taken to hospitals.

Sierra Way was closed off between 28th Street and 26th Street so officers could investigate the crash, police said. They were unsure when it would reopen.
